The
store
was
pretty
empty.
We
knew
precisely
what
we
came
for.
Picked
it
up
off
the
shelf
(last
one!),
and
headed
to
the
cash
register
to
pay.
We
spent
fifteen
minutes
driving
to
the
store,
two
minutes
picking
up
the
product
(a
Ninja
mixer),
and
almost
thirty
minutes
checking
out.
Not
what
you
think.
There
were
zero
customers
at
the
cash
registers.
None.
The
problem
was
the
coupons.
You
see,
Bed
Bath
and
Beyond
have
been
bombarding
us
with
coupons
for
several
weeks
now.
We
usually
discard
them.
We
only
shop
for
something
when
we
need
something.
Unfortunately,
our
good
old
mixer
died
prematurely,
and
one
of
the
coupons
was
pretty
attractive
for
precisely
that.
So
we
went
to
the
store.
The
problem
was
that
the
coupons
came
in
emails,
and
the
Wi-Fi
network
at
the
store
was
DOA,
so
we
were
struggling
with
the
website.
(Speaking
of
website,
it’s
pretty
confusing,
and
I’ve
been
shopping
online
pretty
much
since
e-commerce
started
many
years
ago).
The
cashier
called
her
supervisor,
and
another
bystander
cashier
along
with
the
original
one
tried
to
figure
it
out.
We
were
patient
the
entire
time.
Finally,
they
were
able
to
apply
the
coupons,
and
then
my
wife
found
a
gift
card.
It
took
some
time
for
the
register
to
read
the
gift
card
as
well.
We
got
a
very
good
deal
on
the
Ninja,
so
good
that
the
thirty
minutes
we
spent
trying
to
pay
for
it
were
entirely
worth
it.
